Angola Three
The Angola Three are three prison inmates – Robert Hillary King (born Robert King Wilkerson), Albert Woodfox and Herman Wallace – who were put in solitary confinement in Louisiana State Penitentiary, a.k.a. Angola Prison, in April 1972 after the killing of a prison guard.
Robert King spent 29 years in solitary confinement before his conviction was overturned and he was released.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Forty years in solitary: two men mark sombre anniversary in Louisiana prison )〕 Wallace was released on October 1, 2013, after more than 41 years in prison, and Woodfox's unconditional release was decided on June 10, 2015 after 43 years of solitary confinement. On November 20, 2014, Woodfox had his conviction overturned by the US Court of Appeals, and in April 2015 his lawyer applied for an unconditional writ for his release.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=America's longest-serving solitary confinement prisoner has conviction quashed )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Albert Woodfox could possibly be freed without a retrial after 4 decades in solitary )〕
The prisoners have been the subject of two documentary films〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Watch The Angola 3, the Documentary by Jimmy O'Halligan - Fandor )〕 and international attention. In July 2013 Amnesty International called for the release of 71-year-old Herman Wallace, who had advanced liver cancer.〔 He was released October 1, 2013, re-indicted on October 3, 2013,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dying Angola 3 member Herman Wallace reindicted, report says )〕 and died on October 4, 2013 before he could be re-arrested.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Breaking: Herman Wallace Dies Just Days After Being Released from 40+ Years in Solitary )〕
